Fox Flux Helmet

This helmet is a great design, for a couple of reasons. As others have noted, great venting that you can especially feel when rallying downhill. Also, I wanted a helmet that covers the back of my head better. A lot of helmets on the market don't offer a lot of coverage near the bottom of your skull, and this one fits the bill. The visor pops off easy, just be aware of that. Also, there is a ton of extra strap once I fit in the S/M size helmet. I just cut the extra strap off and seared the end with a lighter so it doesn't fray. My only concern is the retention system, which has kind of an asymmetrical fit to get it to fit my head right, meaning it has to be adjusted tighter on one side for it to fit right. I was right in between the two sizes, and went smaller and it fits snug but not too tight. Overall, I think the retention system will fit but I hope it is durable in the long run when I clobber my head on the ground someday. I would highly recommend this helmet to anyone looking for a highly breathable, rear coverage helmet.

I have this helmet and am VERY pleased with it! It fits very nice, no pressure points, the straps are easy to manage and it doesnt give you the mondo mushroom head look! The bottom edge is covered by the shell, the straps are mounted to each side of the helmet instead of the inside center like other helmets I have owned, this makes it easy to put on and you dont have to mess around untangling straps, it also keeps the helmet from turning on your head. I am surprised more straps arent mounted this way. They also sit flat against your face unlike the straps on my wife's Giro, her Giro straps twist and dig into your face.
The ratcheting fit adjuster is really nice, it is easy to use and holds the helmet on your head very comfy! My wife's Giro helmet has similar but WAY lower quality adjusters and the Fox system is MUCH better! Fox helmet is miles ahead in quality, her Giro is going in the trash and she is getting a Fox.

I bought this helmet because the Xen was causing pressure points on my skull - no fault of the Xen, I just wore it too much/tightly. So I switched to the Flux because it has similar protection to the Xen. The Flux actually covers more of my head, like a FF without the chin coverage, but it's also significantly wider. So wide actually that I have space to fit my fingers in on each side. However, the helmet fits snugly front-to-back. So, if you have a sphere for a skull, this will fit you great, but if you're a bit more normal, it might be a tad wide. The included pads do not allow for fit customization, and the "Roc-Loc" fit adjustment in back does not compensate for the excess width.
That being said, this helmet does stay on well (like other reviewers said), takes a light, and has been working for me for quite a while now. I am happy with it - I just wish Fox designed this helmet to fit MY noggin a little better.

I took a hard spill and broke my last helmet which gave me a great excuse to shell out for this bad boy. I looked at a few Giros but none of them seemed to be reviewed as highly as the Fox Flux so I went ahead and ordered one. After a few days of riding, I can safely say it is a GREAT helmet. The fit, ventilation, head cover, weight, and style are all bomber. My only concern is that while the adjustment in the back looks great, it feels a little sketchy. I'll post a picture of it as you can't see it in any of the product pix. Only time will tell how the helmet holds up but knowing fox's reputation, I'm sure it will be fine. $100 for a great helmet you hardly notice beats the heck out of a few thousand dollars spent on a hospital bill!

I've used Louie-G, Specialized and Giro and I like this Fox lid the best. It really hugs my head. It's light, secure, well ventilated and very comfortable. The straps took all of 5 minutes to get dialed in and then I was ready to roll.

It's only been on a couple rides so far and no crashes so I can't say how it will weather the weather long term but I'll report back if I have any problems - and also if I happen to land on my head while riding I'll post how well it does keeping my nugget in one piece ;)

this is my first helmet. it is very good quality fits my head well and has a lot of style. i also am a very big supporter of fox products, i personally think they are the best brand in the business.
and if you choose to buy it from HUCKNROLL you will be getting the BEST service available, very nice and will answer any question you have on the phone and yes all there products they sell are top of the line... great job huck n roll it's a pleasure duing business with you!!!

Owned a Specialized and this Fox outperforms it by a mile. The skull tightening system really holds it on your head. You could pretty much ride down the mountain without the chin strap. It's lightwieght and comfortable. My head is medium size though and the chin strap needs to be tightened so much that there is a lot of exess strap hangin out. Also, during high speeds on trail I notice the air inlets whistle a bit. A great helmet overall. I would recommend this to anyone.

I won this helmet at a race, so I haven't really tried out the competitors, but I am very impressed with it so far. The fit is excellent, the color is nice and understated (Mine is matt black), the construction is bomber, and the protection seems top notch, though I guess I won't really know till I crash :). I have a Specialized SWorks 2D helmet too, but I end up wearing the fox for everything except racing. I have had no problems with it.

By far the best helmet I've ever owned. I've had helmets from Specialized, Giro, and, of course, Bell, and this one has by far the best fit for me. Didn't hurt that the Black Camo was on sale for $80, either. The clicker on the back sucks the helmet to my head so well that I almost don't even have to buckle the chin strap. The front straps are attached to the outer shell, too, so it stays in place - no wiggle at all.

It fits, looks, and vents better than the Xen in my opinion. Bigger, more aggressive vents in the front, but it rides lower on your head and looks less like a mushroom. The Detox system is so secure, I have started down trails with the chinstrap unbuckled and not known it until someone tells me. Wouldn't recommend it for all-out bombing (get a full-face), but I wore it in Moab's 90-degree heat and was stoked. Plus it's Fox, which everyone knows gives you +10 steez.
